Highlights Metro has made progress toward its overarching goals of enhanced safety and security, reliable and quality service, and accountability and financial responsibility through the first two quarters of fiscal year 2018. In each of these areas, Metro has established improved metrics for improvement and key initiatives, the outcomes of which have established trends moving in the right direction. Safety and Security Priorities Safer and more secure transit continues to be the top priority driving oversight, capital investment and data tracking and reporting. Metro has undertaken a range of actions and initiatives in FY2018 to improve the safety and security of customers and employees and to address areas of concern throughout the system. Metro has decreased the rate of rail customer and employee injuries by accelerating the retirement of the oldest railcars, enhancing platform lighting and visibility, installing optimal boarding signage, conducting job hazard analyses, increasing SAFE oversight and support during overnight maintenance, and new investments in track inspector location awareness technology. The rate of injury among bus customers and employees has increased year over year, and Metro is taking steps to address this through line observations by SAFE personnel, the installation of deceleration strobe lights on buses, software glitch fixes on the 8000- series buses, job hazard analyses for bus maintenance, and increased partnership with MTPD for late night bus service. Metro has also increased actions to mitigate track fires and collisions, including operator training on safe movement in the yard, efficiency 3 WMATA Quarterly Progress Report Q2 Fiscal Year 2018 testing, expanded cleaning programs to clear debris that can cause fires, insulator replacement, stray current testing, and the tunnel leak mitigation project. In addition, Metro has advanced initiatives to keep customers and employees safe from crime, whether violent or property crime, with on-going investments in closed circuit television and real-time monitoring, increased application of data analytics and predictive analysis in the deployment no MTPD officers, and investments in fare evasion prevention. Reliable and Quality Service The reliability of Metrorail service has improved year over year due to aggressive infrastructure renewal and preventive maintenance, the continued replacement of less reliable vehicles with the 7000-series railcars, and sustain investments in the rehabilitation of elevators, escalators and fare gates. Metro accepted and put into revenue service 52 new 7000 series railcars during the second quarter. A total 472 new railcars have been accepted through the end of Q2. Metro has also begun to retire the 5000-series railcars, with 60 taken out of service. Continued improvements to railcar maintenance facilities and adjustments to inspection schedules and procedures for the legacy fleet have also contributed to increased reliability and reduced offloads. Reductions in railcar related delays and fewer extended maintenance disruptions have improved on-time performance for customers, and Metro’s reliability metric, mean distance between delays, has surpassed its target and achieved an eight-year high. Bus reliability did not meet its target in the second quarter and was impacted by the use of older, less reliable buses while 105 of
